I never thought The Martells could be very dark. Elia and Oberyn both have blond, blue-eyed children. That is rare for people of color, and the odds go down the darker the non-white parent gets. I'm sure you could dig up some instances where it happened, but it is certainly not the norm for very dark people to have blond, blue eyed children, and it happened twice in the same family! Either the Martell family has the most un-dominant skin and hair genes EVER, or they aren't that dark at all.

It’s because most of these children are biracial??? A dark-skinned person can perfectly have a very fair-skinned child. If Sarella can be black because her mother is from the Summer Islands, Tyene and some of Elia’s children can perfectly be white-skinned if one of their parents are. Also, you seem to ignore that Rhaenys, Elia’s daughter, favors her mother and is dark-skinned.

In any case, the Martells are described as visibly non-white people in the material and the casting should reflect that, no matter how their children look. 

I don’t think we talk enough about it being 100% ok to abandon your goals.

There is so much about keeping on trying and working hard and You Can Achieve Anything When You Put Your Mind To It which is a great sentiment. And for the large part its true and I don’t intend to contradict that when I say that look: sometimes you have to quit and that’s ok.

There is no virtue in pursuing a goal to the detriment of your health and happiness. Not every goal is attainable for you no matter how much you want it and it isn’t shameful to walk away from an aspiration that isnt working for you or is sapping your energy and it doesn’t feel worth it anymore.

You’re no less for changing your mind about something halfway through, or losing interest, or deciding other things are more of a priority than getting fit, running that marathon, getting into med school or whatever else you hoped to do. Forgive yourself, move on.

Tips on getting motivation back?

MOTIVATION IS A MYTH AND WILL NOT GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

Practice discipline and dedication. Know what you want and be willing to put in the work, even if you hate it.

Relying on motivation will leave your ass on the couch watching Netflix for 5 hours because you “don’t feel like studying/exercising/working” but dedication will tell you “bitch, get it together and get going!”

Hi,so I’m a 15 year old ENTP girl,and and for the last few months,I’ve been having some problems with depression,I never want to get out of bed, and I have no motivation todo anything I used to like to do.I really don’t have any friends, and nobody ever invites me anywhere and that’s a main reason that I’m not doing so well.I have a fear of always being alone and I always am🤷🏼‍♀️everyone hates me because of all the ENTP things I do but I really can’t stop..I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Ahh nonnie! I’m sorry you’re going through this, depression is hard and it’s really difficult to get out of the spiral and then stay out of the spiral. I really struggle with it as well. 

The depressed ENTP can have phases of being super isolated and then just plain annoying, but you know what!?? You can’t focus on that! Good friends should actually notice that something is wrong, and not hate you for it. Also, if they hate you, they need to find better things to do with their emotions and time. Regardless of that, what’s most important is that you get to a better place. You can’t focus too hard on your effects of people because it’s a symptom, so let’s solve the cause.

There are a few things and habits I have tried to form to keep myself good–and if not good, at least ok or functioning. And they are under the cut because this is a long post. :)
